Bill > HRes909

This resolution affirms that immigrant justice, which seeks to dismantle systems that criminalize migration and deny immigrants rights, and reproductive justice, which upholds the right to bodily autonomy and control over one's reproductive life, are fundamentally linked and must be pursued together. It highlights how systemic racism, xenophobia, sexism, and economic oppression disproportionately affect immigrants, limiting their access to essential healthcare, including reproductive services like abortion, contraception, and prenatal care, particularly when in the custody of agencies like the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), or when under the care of the Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR). The resolution condemns policies that restrict immigrant access to healthcare, calls for the reinstatement of protections for pregnant individuals in detention, demands transparent oversight of reproductive healthcare quality in detention facilities, and urges that unaccompanied immigrant youth have unimpeded access to all necessary healthcare, including abortion, regardless of their location. It also calls for an assessment of barriers to reproductive healthcare for those in custody and for DHS to report its internal findings on individuals in detention to Congress, ultimately advocating for comprehensive reproductive healthcare for all, irrespective of immigration status.
